Ukraine parliament erupts into mass brawl as nationalists and separatists trade blows on the floor

Ukraine's parliament erupted into a brawl on Wednesday July 23,2014 after a decision to send more reserve soldiers to battle separatists near the Russian border was approved

 

Nationalist and pro-Russian lawmakers were seen swinging at, and wrestling one another, in scenes more fitting of a bar room brawl than a debating chamber

Members of the nationalist Svoboda (Freedom) party and politicians from the Party of Regions clashed after 232 deputies voted in favour of the decision - an extension of an earlier plan that had expired.
